At this week's City Council meeting, Jaquial Durham and DK Keasler-Bruce, curators of the Sincerely, Daniel exhibit, were honored for Black History Month. As true trailblazers, they opened the first exhibit of its kind to celebrate 50 years of Black athletic excellence at D. W. Daniel High School and elevate the City of Clemson‘s vibrant sports culture and community impact.

Their exhibition brought together over 80 community members who contributed their memorabilia, research and design expertise, and volunteer hours. 🩵 As a result, the highly-received exhibition and programming included Cheer Camp, a Su***de Awareness Walk-and-Talk, tours for Pickens County School District principals and the Black Rhinos Mentoring Program, Teacher In-Service Day, the Central-Clemson Recreation League’s 20th and 25th anniversary championship celebration dinner, the honoring of champions and legends at the D. W. Daniel boys varsity basketball game, and Clemson University’s Sincerely, Daniel undergraduate course and Black Graduate Student Alumni Association Super Bowl party.

What’s next? Their partnership with CU Libraries will digitize the exhibition and memorabilia for an online collection, increasing accessibility to Clemson's history for an international audience. Congratulations to Jaquial and DK for bringing attention to the community through dedication to its history and culture! 👏

Last year, Sincerely, Daniel wasn't quite ready for Clem to view before his return to the North Pole, so he couldn't wait to finally see it. He was more than impressed with the first-of-its-kind exhibit during his recent visit to CAAAM. Whether you're looking for a fun activity for family visiting for the holidays or a wonderful gift idea, Clem says Sincerely, Daniel is a must-see.

⏪ Flashback Friday to when D.W. Daniel faculty and staff visited the "Sincerely, Daniel" exhibit before welcoming students back at the beginning of the school year.

Not only did former student athletes, who represent the very best of the school’s commitment to excellence, leave a lasting legacy, but co-curators Jaquial Durham and D’Andrew Keasler-Bruce shared the lifelong impact of their teachers and coaches (some of whom were there that day!). Then, after a Q&A from Mayor Halfacre, it was time for some team-building and words of inspiration from Principal Russell.

Thank you to the entire team for allowing us to share this special tour with you!

❗️REMINDER: “Sincerely, Daniel” will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday on Friday, November 28 and Saturday, November 29.

We are so thankful for the talent and creative eye she brings everyday to CAAAM. Way to go, Felicia! 👏
